While the Golden Globes were underway, Orthoworks Orthodontic Group conducted a vote of their own. Make way for the Golden Globes’ Award Winning Smiles; chosen for their perfect bites and glowing pearly whites!

“12 years a Slave” may have won Best Motion Picture, but the real winner for Orthoworks is Lupita Nyong’o’s dazzling smile. The young breakout star turned heads on the Red Carpet while wowing the Fashion World with her amazing dress. Lupita Nyong’o also starred as the lead in MTV’s “Shuga.”

This woman has moved mountains with her acting skills, but this year Cate Blanchett was exceptional and thoroughly deserving of the Best Actress award for her performance in “Blue Jasmine”, accompanied by an amazing smile. Cate Blanchett is best known for her roles in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Benjamin Button and Elizabeth: The Golden Age.

This All-American Golden Boy has charmed the pants off billions of people across the world with his rock hard abs, lustrous looks and sparkling smile. Matthew McConaughey did not disappoint when he won Best Actor for his performance in the movie “Dallas Buyers Club”. This award was definitely a hit with the ladies!



Best Smile Found in a Motion Picture, Comedy or Musical

America’s newest and most popular sweethearts, Jennifer Lawrence, graced us with her ethereal presence at the Golden Globes. Known for her funny antics and quips, as well as her penchant for voicing out her ideals during interviews and press conferences, wowed the world with her amazing smile as she accepted the award with her colleagues for Best Motion Picture, Comedy or Musical for their fantastic performance in “American Hustle”.

Amy Adams will always be one of the sweetest faces that has ever graced the big screen, but her enchanting smile takes that beautiful face to a whole new level. The talented actress made heads turn as she walked the red carpet in a sexy, red, backless evening gown, but there’s no doubt that her smile was just as impressive. Amy won Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy for her performance in “American Hustle”.

Leonard DiCaprio. Do we really have to elaborate? Well, we don’t have to, but we will. It’s been years since Titanic opened and every woman aged 8 to 150 pledged their undying love to him. This year, however, he has graced us with his presence on the big screen as the Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy for his performance in “The Wolf of Wall Street”. Did anyone read the description or did they just stare at his adorable smile for ten whole minutes?



Best Smile Found in an Animated Feature Film

We would have chosen Olaf, the Snowman, but he himself admitted he doesn’t have any bones, ergo, no teeth. That’s why we chose Elsa instead. The beautiful animated beauty may have spent most of the movie moping or hidden in an ice castle, but sooner or later we finally saw her smile. Whose frozen heart wouldn’t melt after seeing her in the whole movie?



Best Smile Worn by a Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture

It’s Jennifer Lawrence! Again! Yes, we put her in twice. No arguments there.



Best Smile Worn by a Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture

Forty-two-years-old and still breaking hearts, Jared Leto proved to everyone that he’s more than just a pretty face. With an amazing voice and a formidable arsenal of acting chops, this guy has proven time and again that he is worth every penny producers are paying him. After winning Best Supporting Actor for his performance in “Dallas Players Club”, who wouldn’t agree?

New Year, New Teeth, New You!

It’s the start of a New Year for everyone. With the New Year comes New Year’s Resolutions. Are you ready to follow through on yours? If you can’t follow through with the big ones, then start small by taking care of the small things, namely your teeth. Here are some New Year’s Resolutions you can do with your teeth!

STOP SMOKING!

Yes, it’s difficult. However, it’s a good decision in the long run because by the end of the year, you will have a cleaner mouth, stronger teeth and fresher breath! If you can’t do it immediately, find ways on how you can beat that unhealthy habit.



Eat more Fruits and Vegetables

This one is an easier task. All you have to do is rethink what you’re buying at the grocery. If you’re not much of a vegetarian, then you can add some vegetables to your omelette or create delicious fruit smoothies. The vitamins and minerals that you get from fruits and veggies can significantly improve your oral health. Did we forget to mention that eating fruits and vegetables lessens the chance of having bad breath?



Drink Moderately

Although it’s good advice for people who are a little too happy with the bottle, reducing your alcohol intake can help keep your teeth healthy. Alcoholic drinks have a tendency to be too acidic for the environment in your mouth, thereby increasing the chances of enamel erosion. Aside from that people who smoke, eat poorly and consume excessive amounts of alcohol have a greater chance of having increased gum recession or periodontal pocketing.



Brush At Least Twice A Day and Floss At Least Once A Day

Almost everyone does this because of fear of halitosis, but some people are too lazy to pick up dental floss or brush their teeth before going to bed. It’s not such a huge endeavor. Even two year-olds can do it on their own. So keep in mind that brushing twice a day and flossing once a day will keep your teeth healthier and cleaner and lessens the chance of you getting oral diseases.



Go to Your Annual Dental Checkup

For those of you who do not experience a lot of dental problems, foregoing your dental check-up is still a bad idea. You’ll never know what’s hiding beneath your teeth so it is always a good idea to get checked on a regular basis. Getting checked once a year is fine as long as you stick to a pre-assigned schedule. This way, your dentist can check your oral health status and recommend a dental regimen that suits your teeth and gums’ needs.
